Cumin Cabbage Slaw

Yes, I realize there isn’t a jar in sight in the picture above. But I’ll have you know that the leftovers of that cabbage slaw are currently tucked away in a wide-mouth quart jar in my fridge, so at the very least, the recipe has come in contact with a jar. Also, the dressing is made by pouring everything into a pint jar and shaking vigorously. And, I’ve found that it continues to get more flavorful and delicious over time in cold storage, so it makes for an excellent keep-on-hand-in-a-jar salad.

I made this to go along with the turkey tacos I keep raving about (really, they are best), but it could go alongside any number of dishes. If you wanted to transform it from side dish to the main event, you could toss in some shredded chicken and chopped peanuts for a Mexican/Vietnamese flavor mash-up.

However you serve it, I’m certain it will taste good. And isn’t that the whole point? More specific recipe after the jump.

As much as I love cabbage (yes, love), the excitement that made me comment is about your bowl. Where did you get that bowl? An old roommate had one and I very much admired it. But I can’t seem to find anything like it. Suggestions?

Hey Melissa! I picked that bowl up at a thrift store about five years ago. I later learned that it by CathrineHolm, a mid-century designer. If you search eBay, you’ll find plenty of bowls like that. That particular pattern is called Lotus.

[…] The front of Sue’s Produce. I buy a whole lot of fruits and vegetables here, particularly in the winter when the farmers’ markets aren’t as exuberant. Tonight I picked up a red cabbage, one carrot, an orange, a lime and a pack of freshly made corn tortillas for $5.30. The cabbage, lime and carrot went into a version of this slaw. […]

[…] Some of my favorites around the Interwebs are: Kaela over at Local Kitchen as a great Asian KALEslaw, Simply Recipes has a lovely Southwestern Slaw, Hungry Tigress has a Turkish Fermented Cabbage Slaw and Marisa of Food In Jars has a Cumin Cabbage Slaw. […]
